Co-Founder & US Lead

Location:
Texas (Dallas, Houston or Austin preferred)

Litehaus is a venture-backed European modular construction marketplace expanding to the United States.

We operate in Portugal, Europe, and are now launching the US market, starting with Texas. The opportunity is massive: a highly fragmented, $150 billion dollar construction industry ready for modernisation.

The founding team previously built and exited 3 startups, raised over $300M across previous ventures and generated up to $800M in sales in past businesses.

We are not first-time founders.

We think big and we move fast.

Now we are looking for a Co-Founder & US Lead to build Litehaus US from the ground up.

This is not a corporate position.

This is not a comfortable executive role.

This is a market to build.

Own and scale Litehaus US from zero to meaningful revenue.

• Generate US revenue within the first 2 months
• Develop and execute the US go-to-market strategy
• Sign builders and construction partners
• Close landowners and developers
• Build outbound and partnership pipelines from scratch
• Implement CRM, KPIs and structured sales processes
• Adapt positioning and strategy to the US market
• Prepare the foundation for future US fundraising
• Build and lead the future US team

You will fully own the US expansion and P&L.

We are NOT looking for a corporate executive.

We are NOT looking for someone who needs a large team before performing.

We are NOT looking for someone who hides behind strategy decks.

We are looking for a real entrepreneur, willing to get his hands dirty.

• Based in Texas
• Former founder or early employee in a VC-backed startup
• Strong in business development, sales or go-to-market
• Comfortable with cold calling, outbound and closing
• A doer with a strong can-do attitude
• Willing to get your hands dirty
  
  Flexible, agile and fast-moving
• Extremely ambitious and resilient
• Comfortable working nights and weekends when needed
• Organized and KPI-driven
• Able to bring structure to chaos

You do not wait for permission.

You create momentum.

You solve problems instead of escalating them.

You see entrepreneurship as a journey, not a job.

• Meaningful founding equity/stock options (2%–5%, vesting-based)
• Lean startup base salary
• Strong performance-driven upside
• Real ownership and decision-making power

If you want a safe corporate role, this is not a role for you.

If you are hungry, extremely ambitious and want to build the next $1bn company, let’s talk.
